AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Nyeshia Stevenson made six 3-pointers on her way to 28 points and Oklahoma (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) beat Texas (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) 75-60 on Saturday.
The Sooners used a 19-2 run in the first half to build a big lead, then a 10-0 run at the start of the second to put the game out of reach. Stevenson made two 3-pointers in the second-half burst that put the Sooners up by 20.
Danielle Robinson added 16 points and seven assists for the Sooners (20-8, 10-4). Kathleen Nash scored 12 points for Texas (19-9, 8-6), which has dropped three straight games after a six-game win streak.
The Sooners scored 31 points off 19 Texas turnovers and held the Longhorns to 31 percent shooting, including 3 of 15 on 3-pointers.
Stevenson, who had only five points in Texas' 75-57 over Oklahoma earlier in the season, scored 16 in the first half, making four 3-pointers. Her fourth capped a 19-2 run that put the Sooners ahead 26-11 late in the half. Texas went scoreless for nearly seven minutes but managed to pull back within 33-23 by halftime.
The Sooners started the second half with a flurry. Texas turned the ball over in the opening seconds and Stevenson made her fifth 3-pointer. Robinson had an easy drive to the basket and Abi Olajuwon hit a nifty left-handed hook.
Exasperated, Texas coach Gail Goestenkors replaced her entire lineup, only to watch Stevenson make yet another 3-pointer on the first possession back from the timeout.
Goestenkors began putting the starters back in one at a time, but the Sooners kept pushing their lead. Robinson would dribble through the defense before kicking it out to Stevenson for a mid-range jumper. And when Joanna McFarland bulled through the paint for a layup, Oklahoma led 58-33 with 12 minutes left.
Oklahoma led 66-43 before the Longhorns finally mounted a rally. Brittainey Raven and Nash both hit 3-pointers and a steal and layup by Ashleigh Fontenette in a 10-0 Texas run cut the lead in half with six minutes to play.
But Texas missed three consecutive layups before Robinson made a long jumper. A Texas turnover and bounce pass from Robinson to Amanda Thompson for an easy backside layup put Oklahoma back up by 17.
